Got a few 750mb files loitering on my hard drive and want to burn to CD. Couldnt on my old plextor but now have Pioneer 108 DVD RW drive with latest 1.14 firmware.

It recognises these 99min 870mb cdr's as only 702mb. Anything I need to change in Nero to get this to work?

Cheers,
Simon.

Yes you need to set the overburn to just under 99 minutes - in CD Recorder settings.

I have the same problem. Changed Nero's settings but it still refuses to burn 99minn discs.

I too have the same setup and same problem...

as soon the file size exceeds a 74min CD it ejects the disc and 'not enough memory...... etc etc'

I too would like to learn the 'black art' of using a 99 min CD

This is from neros website:

5. How can I burn CDs that are larger than the standard 74 min CDs? Such as 80 min and 90 min CDs?

Your CD recorder must support the overburning feature and this type of media. Some recorders support 80 min media but will not support 90 min or 99 min media.

Please check the points below:

This feature is only supported by at least Nero 5.0. Please update to our latest Nero release from our website.
Update to Nero 5.5: Nero Burning ROM
Update to Nero 6 Reloaded: Updates Nero 6 Reloaded
Important notes
Upgrades to the latest versions of Nero 5.5 are free of charge.
The Nero 5 serial number does not work for Nero 6/Nero 6 Reloaded.
To upgrade to Nero 6 Reloaded from a previous version, please purchase a Nero 6 Reloaded serial number in our Onlineshop.
You need to have the latest firmware for your recorder model, as it will contain information to enable overburning. Most importantly, it will contain read/write strategies for new brands of CD-R and CD-RW media and can resolve many issues you may otherwise run into.
To overburn, you have to burn in either ´Disc-At-Once´ or ´Disc-At-Once 96´ write mode. The multisession mode is not possible.
Enable overburning in Nero's ´File --> Preferences --> Expert Features´ (if you use Nero Express, do so from ´More --> Configure --> Expert Features´) and deactivate/disable ´Check for correct disc format´ from within Nero´s ´Files --> Preferences --> General´ (or from within Nero Expresss ´More --> Configure --> General settings´).
If you enable overburning in ´Expert Features´, you should use the settings below, based on the size of media you are working with:

For 80 min media set to 82:00
For 90 min media set to 89:30
For 99 min media set to 99:54:74

Important Note
Keep 99:54:74 min entered and it will always enable burning to the max

Nope..... Doesn't work for me....

Follwed he above insructions (several times).... when I hit the burn button... it says "... not enough disc space... XXXXX required, YYYYY available....") and ejects the disc...

Got firmware 1.14 on the 108........ do they support 'overburn' ??

Anyone had any success with overburning??

Oh yeah.... i'm using Infiniti Professional 99min/900mb disc's


........... alternatively what writers support 'overburning'

What disc's you using Fan??

The 99min discs used to burn fine with my Liteon 48x CDRW so maybe it is a firmware issue with the Pioneer
